Honda’s SUV, Elevate, was globally unveiled in New Delhi, which marks the company’s re-entry into the SUV space. The SUV segment is not new to Honda as previously it had the CR-V and BR-V in its India portfolio. Bookings for Elevate will commence in July, which will be followed by the price announcement.
On the styling front, Elevate looks similar to the CR-V sold overseas. The Elevate’s 4,312mm length, 1,790mm width, 1,650mm height and 2,650mm wheelbase make it similar to the Creta in size. It gets 458 litres of boot space and segment-leading 220mm of ground clearance — the Creta, in comparison, stands 190mm off the ground.
As far as design goes, Elevate features a big grille and a flat nose — with a big Honda logo in the middle — flanked by thin, LED headlights and two fog lamps underneath. The headlights and the LED daytime running lamps are connected by a thick chrome bar like on the City.
